The concept is pretty easily, pick your ten favorite movies from the eighties. The hard part? I want JUST movies from the eighties, not movies you might have seen during the eighties. Also, try and avoid movies that came out after the eighties if possible, 1990 is pretty borderline, I won't scream too loudly if you add one that is from then...

The above ARE the top movies of 80s the best , WITHOUT DOUBT please if you are gonna watch anything watch all of the above movies , if you hate them than you can send me abusive emails, BUT you gotta watch them ok thanks Paul New Zealander Honoarble Movies are Sixteen Candles, Star Wars Sequels

10. Hellraiser II

The movie's crap. What gets me is the fact that a group of production company execs actually saw this at a test screening and said, "you know...I LIKE IT!" This movie is so disturbing you'll never turn on your TV again, due to the chance that it just might be on when you do. (P.S. I don't know if Pinhead has Internet access or not, but if he does...uh...I'm just joking about that whole "crap" thing)

Look for the extremely rare director's cut where Tron & Co. slam Cuervo shots with Dig Dug. I don't want to ruin it, but Flynn has one too many and spends a passionate evening with Q*Bert that, trust me, he probably doesn't want to talk about.

The heartwarming tale of a young boy who conqouers not only his adversaries, but his inner fears and insecurities as well. To bad the line everyone remembers is "PUT HIM IN A BODYBAG, JOHNNY!!! YEAH!!!" Come on. Say it with me.

3. Bloodsport

I honestly beleive this movie was written by the hand of God itself. How else can you explain a scene where an Iranian in a Cliff Huxtable sweater says to Jean-Claude Van Damme: "Look...it's the American s---head who makes tricks with bricks."

2. The Bad News Bears

My name is Kelly Fleak, and the stud ballplayer in this movie's name is Kelly Leak. True story: I played baseball in high school, and anytime someone swung at a rediculously high outside pitch, it was referred to as "taking a Leak." I thought that was pretty funny.

The greatest movie of the 80s has had an amazing impact on my life throughout the years. For example: My senior year in high school I gave a slightly modified version of the "Down here it's our time..." speech during halftime in the locker room, and we came back to win the game. And just last week, I drank a twelve pack of PBR and hooked up with a girl who looked just like Sloth.

I think I'm in love with this girl Dowd. I think she just wants to be friends though.

this had to be the movie that made me realize I was gay...hot bod in a loin cloth..whew, and you thought it was because of my #1 choice...silly

5. E.T./Raiders/Gremlins/Future/Goonies

movie title + Mr. Spielberg = HITS

4. 16 Candles/Breakfast Club/Ferris/Wierd Sci/Wonder

John Hughes was the director of the eighties agnst

3. Flashdance/Footloose/Dirty Dancing/Staying Alive

re-making the movie musical, sort of

2. Girls Just Want to have Fun/Breakin'/Fire w/ Fire

all good girls go WILD sometime

1. Xanadu/The Pirate Movie/Grease 2/Streets of Fire

come on now, Olivia Newton-John singing while rollerskating, Kristy McNichol singing with pirates, Michelle Pheiffer singing "Cool Rider", Diane Lane lipsyncing the greatest movie song, "Tonight is what it Means to be Young" how were these films NOT hits

One of the very greatest pieces of filmmaking ever realized on celluloid!! Tim Burton's definitive directorial statement. Macabre but humor of dark and rather demented origins. Yet, it's still so manic and off the wall! Outrageous and fun all the way!

Grace Jones in a 007 flick? Oh yeah! Tremendous performances, and I'll never forget that scene in the blimp. My heart pounded so hard and fast, that I felt like I was on that bridge... LONG WAY DOWN!! Also, this movie features the very best Bond theme to date "View to a Kill" by Duran Duran. Cold and passionate! My favorite moments in a Bond film, no contest.

I hate Nicolas Cage. But this movie manages to be a glorious smorgasbord of grody Valley teen culture. It also showcases a great trademark moment from a director used to dealing with often bleak subject matter. The music is to die for, and the movie deals with a lot of emotions without getting deep into them and affects without changing the tone of the film.

How very! Caustic, a little mysterious, and very ambitious low-budget teen cult classic. Wynona Ryder and Christian Slater picking off their High School's 'untouchable' elite and leaving the scenes looking like their victims had committed suicide. I do happen to think Wynona's character Veronica was just a bit TOO remorseful however... what do you think?

4. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

They really saved the best for last when it came to this series. This flick not only severly drips with 80's, but it's fun for many varied reasons. It's also every bit as intense as the best horror films of this decade.

A little melodramatic, but the best teen comedy/drama of the decade. Fairly represents the 'clique' mentality that became such a massive thing with the teens of the 90's. This one's ahead of it's time, to be sure.

Ferris: Cameron has never been in love -- at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.

[The Fratellis are interrogating Chunk] Francis Fratelli: Tell us everything! Everything! Chunk: Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. Jake Fratelli: I'm beginning to like this kid, Ma!

Quintessential movie for anyone who ever played hooky from school. Classic line: "So that's how things are in that family." Said by the principal after watching Ferris(dressed up to look like his gf's father) and his gf kiss passionately when he comes to pick her up at school because her "grandmother died".

9. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

I'm sure this is a movie that Keanu Reeves wishes he never did but it is a classic movie. The sequel was pretty good too but the originals are always the best. WYLD STALLIONS!!!!!!!!

8. Teen Wolf/Teen Wolf Two

I prefer the sequel just because I have this soft spot for Jason Bateman, but the original is good too. You can buy them together as a DVD set. It has no extras though. Does anyone remember the cartoon that was on Saturday mornings for a brief time?

Another Molly Ringwald classic. A more obscure one though. Molly plays a pregnant teenager who learns about love and blah blah blah. Classic scene is when she's at the dinner table and she's like "Can you please pass the turnip, and oh ya, i'm pregnant."

A great John Hughes classic. James Spader is a total ass in this movie which is great, but the real scene stealer is Ducky played by Jon Cryer. Classic Ducky line: "Blaine isn't a name, its a major appliance!"

2. Labryinth

I've got two words for you: David Bowie If you haven't seen this movie, RENT IT!! It's a classic and its got a pre-oscar win Jennifer Connelly in it.

John Cusack is a movie God. My favorite part is when John's character is talking to his sister on the phone after Ione Skye's character dumps him and he says "I told her I loved her and she gave me a pen." Very cute!

There are so many great movies of the 80's that its hard to pick favorites. Honourable mentions have to go to Karate Kid, The Goonies, The Outsiders, The Lost Boys, and anything with John Cusack in it, particulary A Sure Thing. I just want to say one last thing. 80's movies were way better than the movies of today!
